Abuse caused much trouble. I've seen postings on the petition and all over the Internet where others outright say they're using it for commercial purposes.Microsoft has was to cut those people off. It should take advantage of it instead of throwing us out.

MS Office licenses expire in 30 days -- force renewals, Microsoft would cause no end of trouble for pirates. It would turn the pirates and their customers into enemies and dramatically slow them down.

We have nearly 7,000 signatures and will likely surpass 10,000 in the coming weeks. We are not asking for the impossible or even the moderately difficult from Microsoft. We're simply asking it find a reasonable compromise instead of alienating a massive crowd of ardent supporters.

I could be confused but that doesn't seem like too much to ask. Microsoft's inability or refusal to do so raises questions about our relationship. Microsoft is failing on so many fronts, but one of the few bright spots on it recent earnings report was enterprise services. Under the circumstances, provoking loyal enterprise IT professional seems ludicrous. It could also have consequences if word spread to Microsoft investors.

We need your support and the support of everyone who disagrees with this kind of behavior from Microsoft. Please join us by signing the petition at http://chn.ge/16uLiRA.
